ETDs Become a University Requirement
In December 2001, the Electronic
Theses and Dissertations (ETD) Working Group, an ad hoc committee of
the University
Council on Graduate Study (UCGS), embarked on a voluntary pilot
project to assess the procedural feasibility and scholarly advantages of
accepting theses and dissertations in electronic rather than paper-based
format. After two years of implementation and evaluation of the project,
and upon reviewing the ETD Report
presented by the ETD
Steering Committee, the UCGS voted unanimously to recommend to the Provost that ETDs become a University requirement by the December
2004 graduation. After consulting the Council of Deans, the
Provost approved this recommendation. As of December 2004, all theses and
dissertations submitted at the University
of Pittsburgh must
be submitted as ETDs.
